  • *Calibration data were missing for visit 1 (4 controls and 4 infants with MAM) and visit 2 (1 control and 5 MAM).

  • ICC, intraclass correlation coefficient; MAM, moderate acute malnutrition; response p, probability of a response to the saccade target on valid trials; SRT, saccadic reaction time; V1, visit 1; V2, visit 2.
